Last year, the Cluj airport was transited by almost 1.5 million passengers, representing a 50% decrease in traffic compared to 2019, when almost 3 million passengers were registered, according to data previously provided by Cluj airport representatives.
”In the first half of 2022, Avram Iancu Cluj International Airport recorded a number of 1,060,482 passengers, which means that we have recovered about 80% of the passenger traffic recorded in the first half of 2019, before the pandemic,” said David Ciceo, general manager of Avram Iancu Cluj International Airport, in a press release.
“We estimate a number of 3 million passengers for 2023, that is why we are focusing on developing the infrastructure to accommodate a growing passenger traffic.”
Recently, Cluj airport has accessed a RON31.2 million (EUR6.3 million) European project for the construction of a new apron with four aircraft parking places. Cluj airport is the first airport in Romania and among the first in Europe where passengers no longer have to remove liquids and electronic devices from their hand luggage at security control.
